So over the weekend my wife was in WalMart and by chance happened to walk through the clearance isle on her way to another part of the store when a large transformers box caught her eye. Much to my surprise she had found not one but TWO 25th Anniversary OP's!! The boxes are in Mint shape less the dirt and dust that they were coated in. I'm not sure how they remained around as long as they have perhaps they were lost in the stock room on a shelf perhaps the TF fairies had put them out? What did I pay for these two boxes you ask? Great question my wife got them for a low low price of $6 a piece! That's right I said 6! Thank you to my wife!
One question for you guys though my son (good catch by him) notice on the bottom of the box that where they have the also available Sunstreaker, Galvatron and Prowl, Prowl had a "CON" symbol nest to his name but a Autobot symbol on his chest? Is this a misprint because it was on both boxes? Or do I just not know my TF history enough and should be shamed for not knowing? Thanks for your help.

First of all.....awesome grab for $6.00! I wish. I got mine back when they were 70.00 a piece.
I'll look on mine when I get home unless someone has it available before that.

Nice score
Yes, Prowl as 'con is a misprint and a rather nasty one at that.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one

Wow, you lucked out big time! I wanted pick that up when it was out but $70 was just too much. As for Prowl, I believe that's just a misprint, because that is a photo of Classics Prowl, and it's not a toy based on a character from any series. At first i thought you were talking about Hasbro's version of MP-01, though...

The only thing I can think of is that these were lost somewhere in the back store room. 25th anniversary was 2 years ago so why put them out now and not with the other lines? I guess that's why they ended up in the clearance section.

Is there any way you could sell me the other one? I'm dying to get my hands on a G1 Prime. I found one a local comic store, but he wanted 150 for it. Surprisingly, it sold right after I had came in and asked about it.......
